I thought that car had the hydraulic knee shocks on the front??

Yes, knee actions shocks were used on the front through the 23rd Series. Yet, in no way does that shock absorber support the weight of the car; it merely acts as a damper.

Now, I can imagine that the internals of the knee action unit could bind. I've even experienced that with tube type shocks and modern struts - though not very often. However, there would much more to complain about than just sagging, but the owner indicates ride is OK.

Meanwhile, I hadn't considered a problem with a rear leaf spring, but nothing from the one image provided suggests that.
